I know it's been a while since I last updated my blog and I apologize. Today I'm not going to write about stupid people ...I'll give that a break this time. I have decided to write about my daughter, Renee's documentary called "Suck It Up Princess".
Now, I know many of you have watched this documentary and have seen all of what she has gone through, somewhat. There are a lot more things to tell, but as it is, it could only be one hour long, so I think you got the main idea at least.
If there's one thing I would like this documentary to get across to people is to show them the power of hope and not giving up in life. I find that the world today does not have enough of these things. Life is about learning from one another, being nicer to one another. Isn't there enough fighting in the world? Sometimes we forget what family is about. We should take some time to actually notice our surroundings and take better care of ourselves and our loved ones. Let's not forget what our parents taught us when they would say that our family is our number one priority. If you are not looking out for your family first, then what is your purpose in life?
I would also like to answer the number one question that I get asked all the time and that is: How do you do it? The answer is that I just do it. I am a mom. And being a mom it is my job to do the best that I can for my children. That's what I was taught.
Now, I have made my mistakes along the way, but my kids always came first. I was raised in a very good family. I had a great mom and dad. So I only have myself to blame for any mistakes I have made in my life.
With all that said, I have been blessed with two wonderful children, great brothers and sisters -who sometimes drove me nuts, but they're still great and God knows I love them! My friends are the best. They've supported me so much through the years during my ups and downs.
Just recently, I have been blessed with the love of my life, who lets me know that it's OK to be me. He has also shown me what unconditional love is and has added three and a half new members to my family nest. I truly believe that I'm a better person because of it.
All I know is that over the years I have fought the "good fight" ...and sometimes it almost took me out, but I have had a great right hand man in my son, Marco, who would remind me that everything will be OK. He grew up really fast and he's had his own dealings with the medical world himself, but he never forgot to tell me that everything was OK. I have a daughter, who has been nothing but hope for me and always makes me think to myself: "If she can do it, so can I".
I have learned to take things one day at a time and that's my advice to everybody today. If life is getting you down today, there's always tomorrow, so count your blessings and be grateful no matter what.
Yours Truly,
Me
